DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Sizewell. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Sizewell. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- One picture of the entire basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
What we’re called out for in Sizewell
Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A crack near the taps
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips from dropped toiletries
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who turns up on the day
- When it can be used again
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Your questions about sink repair in Sizewell
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t overtighten taps
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
